    I hope that anyone who has viewed this site has now seen Obama’s rebuttal in Pennsylvania. I also love my branch of the Lutheran Church and my Pastor, although I do not agree 100% with everything he says. Obama CAN NOT be held resposible for the things hhis Pastor says or does either. After all, this is America, the land of Free Speech!

    Jeanne,

    Well said indeed. One does not judge a family by the ramblings of that crazy drunk uncle who runs off at the mouth at weddings and reuniond :)

    The pastor has his right to free speech, however, there are those on the left who would deny that hate speech is protected and seek to suppress it. While Mr. Obama is not responsible for the hate speech of his pastor, he is a public official who aspires to the highest office in the country, and can’t be given a pass for his standing by and failing to speak up while this hate was spewed from the pulpit. But Obama did more than just stand by, his website featurerd Wright, and the New Black Panthers, both not withdrawn until others drew attention to them. This was not just a case of having a “crazy drunk uncle” for Wright was featured on Obama’s website. When the likes of Wright spew hate, it’s not just a question of a difference on a matter of policy, and while Obama can feature anyone he wants on his website, others can justly question his fitness for the Presidency when he voluntarily chooses to feature them on his website. No one forced Obama to put them there, he chose to do so.
